Thanks to Bassic

- who found me on Paltalk - my handle is a giveaway... :-) and assisted me for the best part of an hour to fiddle till we got it sounding not too bad. You play a nice fiddle mate! Now I am happy that the thing is as good now as it gets, and I have the right mic distances and level settings worked out etc - I was able to remove the 20db boost in the mixer and get the thing to work ok... got rid of the static even...

Thanks again

BTW I set up a personal room for the test - it's called foolestroupe - what else? and it's a music room - adult rating - free and open anybody welcome. If you want to organise a time, just let me know...

Thanks for your help...
